    I recall working with Mike in San Francisco. Walking into the firehouse in the morning and seeing him as my boss was reassuring, and he was a breath of fresh air always. My sincere condolences to Mike's family. May he rest in peace.

    Ryan, my condolences on losing your Dad and grandfather to your children. I only met him a few times but he seemed like a very gentle and happy man, even after all the trials and tribulations of the recent years. I was hoping he would win his latest battle too. He was too young. My heart goes out to you and all of Mike's family.
